What was the first clothing of Hazrat Adam?

The first of their clothing was from sheep’s wool. He separated them and then spun them. Afterwards, he wove a Jubbah for himself and a dress and headscarf for Eve. [1]

Allah says: “O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness. This is one of Allah’s bounties, so perhaps you will be mindful.” [2] This also explains that Allah sent down clothing for Hazrat Adam and Eve.

It is reported that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “When Allah admitted Adam to Paradise, He clothed Adam with a garment of nail, and when Adam committed the sin, Allah withdrew from him the garment and it [the garment] remained only on the tip of his nails.”

He also said: “The original clothing of Adam was nails, like feathers are to birds, and when he disobeyed his Lord, his clothing was dropped and the nails were left (for him) as an adornment and to benefit from.” He further said: “The tree from which Allah forbade Adam and his wife, may Allah exalt their mention, to eat was the spikenard, and when they ate from it, their nakedness appeared and it was their nails that covered their nakedness.”
